one stand out performance |
With all the talk of the Fillmore East lately I began to remonise about the shows I've seen there.I already told the story of The Dead and din't get it at all but no.Was it Procal Harum,Moby Grape,The Nice,Cream,Electric Flag,Savoy Brown,Tull, ,Airplane,Hendrix and if pushed there was also Jeff Beck,Joe Cocker, TYA,the Byrds.All of these shows were great in there own way but for me just thinking back at the crowd reaction and how everyone was dancing and I mean the entire place was the Sam And Dave Soul Review show.This was first all black r/b group for me and was an absolute joy.$5.50 for 3 groups w/ the 2nd act generally an up and comer w/ the headliner doing there thing Bill Graham deserves all the praise one can muster for putting those shows together.

Re: one stand out performance |
In American, the use of a period or comma as punctuation does not preclude or excuse one from the use of a space to distinguish one word from the next!
Four Donna yelps, a Brent tune, and one estimated prophet LEAVING OFF when bobby stops conjuring the coyote god.

Tell that to e.e. cummings, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, et al. Though I do wish someone would tell it to my Freshman Composition students.
As to the Fillmore East: we enjoyed a parade of the period's best, put on with style, at a fair price.

Re: one stand out performance |
I outgrew ginsberg and kerouac a while ago and cummings never floated my boat. I've plenty of respect and all... just not my thing. Always dug the metaphysicals more, and the 'high modernists' like Joyce and Eliot. I never really got why literature that adhered to just a few grammatical and formal boundaries couldn't be radical enough for those crazy beatnicks.
Also... I'd give a testicle for the chance to catch a show at Winterland back in the day. sigh. I guess i'll just watch the Grateful Dead Movie again.

Re: one stand out performance |
I outgrew the Grateful Dead 40 years ago; that doesn't diminish their genius--even if, like the Beats--it is stuck in time.

Re: one stand out performance |
TRUTH. They outgrew everyone who thinks their peak happened sometime in the 1970s.

Re: one stand out performance |
Let me rephrase that: I moved on to different things. Hippie was long dead, the scene was turning into disco, simply time for me to move on. Yes, I outgrew them--but that's just how I felt; it is not meant to criticize the band or its followers.
They were who they were. I am who I am. Two forks in the road.
I'm glad they stayed with it. Just didn't work for me.
If that offends anyone, sorry. I don't mean to.
